Some weeks ago I was searching for some celtic/irish singers,then I found the "Orthodox Celts" trought the song "The Star of the country down" (is the most popular on youtube) and I shared that link in all my pages (FB, Twitter, Orkut).

The song "As I Roved Out" was the first irish music I listened some years ago (maybe 9 years), but the singer was Brian Roebuck - when I told my mother that Loreena had recorded that song she said: "oh I can't believe she recorded this song!!!" (My mother never liked this song I used to annoy her with it!)

But there's something, again with the Orthodox Celts, there's a song called "The wind that shakes the barley" too, that I love, especially the violin, but it's totally different than the one that Loreena sings.

And when I was searching for these celtic songs I found some songs that many irish/celtic singers sing: like the "Irish Rover" and I thought: "why Loreena doesn't sing some of these songs?" And so she did it now! But if you said to me: "Loreena recorded "The Star of the country down"" I probably wouldn't believe!

Ok, maybe it could happen with 15 different songs.. it all was just a coincidence!

The other songs are amazing of course, but I only knew these 2, I'm reading about the other songs now; I like to know the story behind the lyrics (I think everyone here likes to know ).

But I would to know why Loreena chose this or that song, deeply in her heart, in her mind, why do we have this selection? ♥

Me, too! I wish there were more of it...I have to dance in my Food Science: Customs and Culture class. My group is studying Northern Europe (Great Britain, France, and, of course, Ireland!) But hopefully I'll be able to post a video!

I am very very excited about this new release. I just checked the teasers and I really love them.

It's funny but now as the summer is passing and the days grow shorter and colder I know this will be the CD I'll be hearing in my home this fall and winter. Sounds perfect to me to warm up from the inside remembering a great summer and looking forward to next spring.

Mark..I've got a question to ask you.Since i presume i'll have to buy the new album from QRshop,cause it'll be out in Italy next year,when will it be released in UK?I ask this cause i usually choose on maplemusic the dispatch option from uk(it's cheaper)Thanks!

Originally posted by freesoul:I'm so sure I'll love this album. Needless to say all snippets are simply excellent , but I LOVE Down by The Sally Gardens, The Death of Queen Jane and the Emigration Tunes.

As always Italy sucks as to distribution, but the Italians are getting accustomed to that... , more or less...

If by some rare chance Loreena reads this, thanks for the new music, I've been waiting for something from you. I'm looking forward to listening and seeing you perform (I hope) this new traditional sounding music. Thanks again Robert.

Hopefully we'll have the answer to your question, Lica, in the liner notes! I'm very much looking forward to this - the teasers are just beautiful. Perfect to listen to as the nights are drawing in, and dreams come to the fore where they lay hidden...

I've just noticed that the new album will be out in Italy on January 24,like in U.K.So Mark..i'll have to buy it on QRshop,'cause i can't wait till Jan.But ,since it will be released in UK on Jan 24,I presume I'll have to choose the dispach option from Canada(buying it from maplemusic),am i right?I ask this cause it's more expensive.

I just got the notification about the new album and pre-ordered it immediately: one copy for me and one as a gift to my mum. The songs sound lovely! which song is Loreena´s original? I can´t quite find this info anywhere on the site.

Hi there,You can also pre-order the album from sites like Amazon Germany if you want to get the album early. But I think it's best to buy it on QR Shop (ships from Canada) since you'll receive an autographed card by Loreena herself with your CD, and the price is very good imo.

I'm from China and I just pre-ordered the 2CD gift pack from QR Shop, 2 albums cost CND20, plus the postage (standard air mail) is only CND11,75. And it is a very considerate service to offer the customers free mp3 downloads on Nov.12

I've just pre-ordered the new album!The big surprise is that I'll receive a card autographed by Loreena within the album!! It's my first time cause i still haven't had the opportunity to meet her after a live show.Anyway i'll attend one of her future gigs in Italy.But I'm very happy of this card.And I'm glad that the cd will be shipped to me from UK..it's cheaper for me rather than from Canada.God bless you Loreena!
